the republican party is becoming a joke. all they seem to be doing now is trying to stay in power. as a conservative im starting to feel politically homeless.
What about the country? If your give up strategy is adopted how many innocent Americans, Europeans, Israelis, Iraqis die so you can see the left implode again.
The price of your strategy is too high. The GOP should run as conservatives when they do they win.
With what the so-called republican congress (rather RINOcrat congress) has given us, having a socialist congress cannot be much worse. The RINOcrats are outspending any socialist democrats of the past 50 years anyway. Iraq is the only real issue they can stop $$$ for.
Me too. You know I'd rather lose an off year election than the big one. Maybe 2006 is the year to vote for a 3rd party to send a message.

Same here. I won't be voting Republican for quite awhile, however, I will remain registered Republican.
Why don't you try to win WITHOUT US, Bush basher?
The Conservative movement may benefit by losing the House and Senate in 2006. I’m not advocating that we campaign to lose; however, if you look at the ramifications of losing in 2006 the Conservatives have a better chance of winning in 2008. Note: I didn’t say the Republicans I said Conservatives.
You may sneer at those of us you sneering deride as not being "real, true conservatives." But we can win without you -- you cannot win without us.
The current batch of elected officials has sold out the principles of conservatism on far too many points. There are people who will flame you for not going lock step with the Republican party as they will point out that Democrats are bad for America. Frankly, with Bush/Rove's policies on immigration and vote buying to support local Republicans it's obvious that conservatism got the short end of the stick.
Supporting Spector over Toomey?
Continuing to back Lincoln Chaffee?
Threatening Tancredo?
Amen.
HA! Don't get to comfortable after two "landslide" victories 2000, and 2004.
"You may sneer at those of us you sneering deride as not being "real, true conservatives." But we can win without you -- you cannot win without us."
I think his point is that if you win it doesn't matter because the Republicans don't capitalize on their win and move the government right. So we can't win without you, and you can win without us and do nothing. Great options.
Is this a joke? You can't really believe that. I'm not bush basher by the way. I am a concerned conservative that wants spending controlled.
...But we can win without you -- you cannot win without us...
Good luck!
If "you" win, it's no different from if the democrats win.
Who cares?
I hope you can win without us...not sure how though because I was one of you.
But if you can do it without me, great. I can sit this one out and still be guaranteed that Hillary won't be President.
Let me know when you need me and the other Conservatives.
It's time for a Reagan conservative. Draft Mike Pence for 2008.
I have read Michael Barone's reports of both elections, friend.
The "real, true" conservatives voted in no larger numbers in 2004 than they did in 2000.
